COMPLETE 15/1739 - Alliance From Hell

Hey! I was working on a BM loop... well... right before Crimbo. Long story short I dropped that for Crimbo, and ended up doing the AFH Seal Clubbing contest. Now that it's over, I'm back to finish my loop, and I figured since I was already in the habit of posting my logs, I'd just continue to. Feel free to comment, I don't know that much about BM strategy so I'm just kinda going on my instincts.

I was trying to get a bum cheek there, but ended up with Harold's Bell, which is also cool and will help when I get to Boss Bat tomorrow. I think that went pretty well, it's far less time than I'm used to spending on day 1, much less to do when you only have one familiar! I could've gone for a Volley late in the day there, but I just don't think there was enough time. Tomorrow, maybe.

One of the toughest parts in early BM is meat management: I certainly have not yet found a particular way to manage the tradeoffs required as a result. I usually don't buy a terrarium until I have either a fairy or a volley ready to go; and I would buy Pride before using a volley. Certainly, the noob cave version is only worth it if you want a 100% run, so it looks like that was a decent choice.

Buying food on day one is usually a good idea, especially for stats. If you know you are going to buy the food, consider when to drink your booze to save those offstats.

I generally advise to concentrate on turn generating in the early going: get your servants, bugbear outfit, and hippy outfit before council quests; and try to get liver of steel as soon as possible. Of course, Envy and a fairy will be most helpful, and you may need to go for BM meat to subsidise your exertions.

After all that, back-quest as needed, and push the envelope! Consider if you can use the hellevator for extra ML, if you want to go quicker.

Also, look at kelemvor's BM kittycore thread; it is chock full of BM insights and commentary.

Day 3! Nothing much to report, I'm afraid. More of the same, just slogging along. Thanks for the pointers, Phel, I like hearing from people who know more than I do. I guess I should feel pretty lucky, I haven't been having money problems at all! I'm really stoked about that actually, abused the hell out of Harold's bell today for some extra meat.

Moving on to day 4. Probably could've gone for liver today, but I wanted to finish 8-bit and also I want to kill the bonerdagon before the end of tomorrow for the stat boost, so I'm going to get to it tomorrow late or the day after.

Yeah, those stats are the best in the Nook. Looking forward to Cranny stats tomorrow, and hopefully bonerdagon stats too. Got my bartender box servant, waiting on making my chef since I haven't been needing it lately. So... hopefully Liver and Bonerdagon tomorrow, but we'll see!
